The Best of Spain - Toledo

Toledo, La Ciudad Imperial (the Imperial City), is Iberia's Rome with a cultural maze of mosques, synagogues, churches, and museums. Known as Toletum, the name the Romans gave to this settlement on the banks of the River Tagus after its conquest in 190 BC, it became the capital of Hispania in the 6th cent. The arrival of the Arabs in the 8th cent., together with the presence of Christians and Jews, made Toledo the "city of the three cultures." Its labyrinthine streets, plazas and inner patios, the dominant Alcázar of the Middle Ages, the imposing Cathedral (the best example of Spanish Gothic art), El Greco's Casa-museo, and the Mudejar-inspired Santa María La Blanca Synagogue, are but a few of the reasons why the entire city was declared in 1986 by UNESCO a monument of world interest.
